Go Kerry Go

John Kerry will announce his first quarter numbers
today. And they're enough to strike fear into the hearts of Republicans
nationwide. Well, those of them that have hearts, anyway:

Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) will announce today that his
presidential campaign has raised more than $43 million in the first
three months of this year, smashing Democratic Party records and
signaling a party-wide fundraising resurgence for Democrats, according
to top party officials.
[...]
[T]he unexpected fundraising surge shows Democrats are far more
competitive financially against Bush and suggests the pool of
Democratic money runs much deeper than officials from both parties
originally projected, GOP and Democratic strategists say. The Kerry
campaign initially projected it would raise $80 million this year, then
Kerry fundraisers said in interviews last month it could top $100
million in 2004 alone. "You can easily see a scenario where he hits
$120 million, particularly given the fact the race is so close and will
continue to be close," said Anita Dunn, a Democratic strategist.

This is fantastic news. $43 million dollars in three months!! And things haven't even really gotten going yet!
